Around the world, researchers are working extremely hard to develop new treatments and interventions for COVID-19 with new clinical trials opening nearly every day. This directory provides you with information, including enrollment detail, about these trials. In some cases, researchers are able to offer expanded access (sometimes called compassionate use) to an investigational drug when a patient cannot participate in a clinical trial.
The information provided here is drawn from ClinicalTrials.gov. If you do not find a satisfactory expanded access program here, please search in our COVID Company Directory. Some companies consider expanded access requests for single patients, even if they do not show an active expanded access listing in this database. Please contact the company directly to explore the possibility of expanded access.
Emergency INDs
To learn how to apply for expanded access, please visit our Guides designed to walk healthcare providers, patients and/or caregivers through the process of applying for expanded access. Please note that given the situation with COVID-19 and the need to move as fast as possible, many physicians are requesting expanded access for emergency use. In these cases, FDA will authorize treatment by telephone and treatment can start immediately. For more details, consult FDA guidance. Emergency IND is the common route that patients are receiving convalescent plasma.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

This is a randomized, blinded phase 2 trial to assess the efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients with a symptom onset between 3 and 7 days OR within 72 hours of hospitalization.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
A single, ascending-dose design with five dose-cohorts of 8 subjects. Forty healthy adults aged 18 to 45, inclusive, will be recruited and admitted at one US site. Each subject will be randomized to receive either SAR440894 or matching placebo via 60-minute intravenous infusion. In each cohort of 8 subjects, the randomization ratio will be 6 active to 2 placebo, and 2 sentinel subjects (one from each active and placebo group) will be dosed first. Dosing of the next dose-cohort will be dependent on acceptable meeting predefined safety criteria in the preceding cohort. Each subject's participation will take place over approximately 150 days, not including the screening visit. There are no hypotheses for this phase I study. The primary objective will be to determine the safety of single ascending intravenous (IV) infusions of SAR440894 when administered in healthy adults.
University of Utah
The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of processed human amniotic fluid as a treatment for COVID-19.
Cartesian Therapeutics
Emergency study to test the safety of Descartes-30 cells in patients with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) AND COVID-19
Baylx Inc.
This is a phase 1/2a study including 2 parts, phase 1 and phase 2a. The phase 1 part is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety and explore the dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of a human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell product (BX-U001) in severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Qualified subjects after the screening will be divided into low, medium, or high dose groups to receive a single intravenous infusion of BX-U001 at the dose of 0.5×10^6, 1.0×10^6, or 1.5×10^6 cells/kg of body weight, respectively. The Phase 2a part is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial examining the safety and biological effects of BX-U001 at the appropriate dose selected from phase 1 for severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients with the same inclusion/exclusion criteria as the phase 1 part.
VISIBLE PATIENT, E-MEDIA
Automated quantification of the pulmonary volume impaired during acute respiratory failure could be helpful to assess patient severity during COVID-19 infection or perioperative medicine, for example. This study aim at assessing the correlation between the amount of radiologic pulmonary alteration and the clinical severity in two clinical situation : 1. SARS-CoV-2 infections 2. Postoperative hypoxemic acute respiratory failure
University of Mississippi Medical Center
This research study evaluates the safety and effectiveness for the use of convalescent plasma transfusion as a treatment option for novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). Donors who have recovered from COVID-19 with high antibody levels to the CoV-2 virus will donate plasma at a Mississippi Blood Services facility. Recipients with COIVD-19 who have severe or life threatening conditions will receive plasma from those persons who have recovered from COVID-19.

A double-blind, randomized, controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MSC (mesenchymal stromal cells) intravenous administration in patients with COVID-induced ARDS compared to a control arm.
Chinese University of Hong Kong
(a) Objectives 1. To assess the full lung function, exercise capacity, quality of life in patients with COVID-19 over 2 years. 2. To assess the longevity of the serology response to SARS-CoV2. 3. To investigate the association of the neutralization titer in plasma from different vaccinated cohorts to its protection of infection using in vivo model 4. To investigate the SARS-CoV-2 specific cellular and humoral immunities as well as their determinant factors from community subjects who have received different types of COVID-19 vaccines. 5. To assess the third booster dose for subjects who have poor antibody response despite having received two doses of CoronaVac (Sinovac)

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected almost every country in the world, especially in terms of health system capacity and economic burden. People from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) often face interaction between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Role of HIV infection and anti-retroviral treatment (ART) in altered cardiovascular risk is questionable and there is still need to further carry out research in this field. However, thus far it is unclear, what impact the COVID-19 co-infection in people living with HIV (PLHIV), with or without therapy will have. The ENDOCOVID project aims to investigate whether and how HIV-infection in COVID-19 patients modulates the time course of the disease, alters cardiovascular risk, and changes vascular endothelial function and coagulation parameters/ thrombosis risk. Methods: In this long-term study, cardiovascular research on PLHIV with or without ART with COVID-19 and HIV-negative with COVID-19 will be carried out via clinical and biochemical measurements for cardiovascular risk factors and biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Vascular and endothelial function will be measured by brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) assessments, and retinal blood vessel analyses, along with vascular endothelial biomarkers and coagualation markers. The correlation between HIV-infection in COVID-19 PLHIV with or without ART and its role in enhancement of cardiovascular risk and endothelial dysfunction will be assessed. Potential changes in these endpoints by COVID-19 will be followed for 4 weeks across the three groups (PLHIVwith or without ART and HIV negatives). Impact of project: The ENDOCOVID project aims to evaluate in the long-term the cardiovascular risk and vascular endothelial function in PLHIV thus revealing an important transitional cardiovascular phenotype in COVID-19.
